Until the 1670s wine was served at the table in jug or green glass bottle. The decanter started to appear after 1670 and usually took a jug form, it wasn't until the middle of the 1700s that decanters were seen in a form we are more familiar with now.
 
This is a heavy cut crystal spirit decanter.
 
Made in England around 1930.
 
The decanter is in good condition.
